Do you have any tips for my flight to Ilkley?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ilkley could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:
  • It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also not allowed.
What to wear on a flight:
  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
  • The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.
How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ilkley?
The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ilkley in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:
  • Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
  • Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
